The Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust (HMWT) has shared its hopes for the future following its successful conservation efforts.
HMWT is a conservation charity that works to protect wildlife across Hertfordshire, Middlesex and beyond, including Pinner and its surrounding areas.
A new report from The Wildlife Trusts, titled The National Water Vole Database Project Report, identifies continued declines in water vole populations set against heartening increases in areas where conservation efforts have been focused.
Josh Kalms, water vole officer at HMWT, said: “Despite the disappointing national findings, the localised picture shows there is hope for the future of water voles thanks to the trust’s work to conserve voles and their habitats continuously for more than 20 years.
“We will build upon this further with reintroductions, continuing American mink control, and by conserving and restoring habitats so that water voles, and other wildlife, can thrive.”
